Clark receives $1.4 M grant for coastal zone research
Clark University received a $1,442,930 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in support of research on suburbanization and its effects on coastal watershed areas. The project is titled “Suburbanization, Water Use, Nitrogen Cycling, and Eutrophication in the 21st Century: Interactions, Feedbacks, and Uncertainties in a Massachusetts Coastal Zone.” The research is expected to provide novel insights into these processes that are so vital to the environment and inhabitants of rapidly growing coastal areas. Fieldwork and process-based modeling will be used to characterize and explain these dynamics.
The study area comprises 26 Massachusetts towns of the Parker and Ipswich watersheds. Known to scientists as coupled natural and human systems, suburbanized watershed-estuary systems such as those in the area under study constitute a pressing national problem for coastal zone managers, land owners and water managers.
The NSF award is effective September 15, 2007 and will expire in February 2012. It is the second largest grant to a faculty research project at Clark. Read more…
Difficult Dialogues program at Clark focuses on religious tolerance
Does religion promote intolerance? How do we reconcile faith in a particular tradition with tolerance and good will toward members of other faiths? Leaders representing four different religious faith traditions—Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism—will come together at Clark University to address these issues in a dialogue, “Faith and Tolerance in a Multicultural World.” This interfaith dialogue will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20, in Tilton Hall, Higgins University Center. The program is co-sponsored by the Difficult Dialogues Initiative and the Andrea B. and Peter D. Klein Professorship. It is free and open to the public. Find more information about this event and its speakers online.
